Jesus, I
> God’s Gonna Set This World on Fire
Signal This Strong
BC: Thank you very much, thank you. How are you? (crowd cheers) Woo! You know in Europe they don’t “woo.” It’s a different -- they don’t do the “woo!” It’s more like a (grunting noise)! Like a expressionistic (grunting noise). (deeper grunting noise). That’s very American, a woo woo! I will say, um, I don’t know where they are, there are some people here from Germany tonight, thank you very much. There they are, they’re awesome, thank you.
Sweeney: Ich habe eine wunderhundermuschi...for you Germans.
BC: Does that mean anything or...? Did you just say "I wanna lick your pussy" in German?
Sweeney: No.
BC: What did -- what did you say?
Sweeney: I might’ve said wund -- ich habe eine wunderhundermuschi. I cannot say it.
Pajo: (off mic) Alright, this next song is called....
Endless Summer
BC: This is a song, um...this is a song called Rivers We Can’t Cross.
Rivers We Can’t Cross
(Billy begins guitar for Love Lies in Ruin)
BC: Thank you very much, thank you.
Love Lies in Ruin
Ride a Black Swan
Settle Down
BC: We tried to go to the Arch today, but we just didn’t make it. I’ve been to St. Louis like seven--
Pajo: Where is the Arch?
BC: I’ve been here like seven times, I’ve never been to the Arch, it’s like some sort of heresy. I always wanted to get raped. Huh? It's never happened yet. It’s like that pyramid fantasy I have. (Sweeney is tuning his badly out-of-tune guitar) Oh, that’s not gonna work there, Matt.
Sweeney: I thought we were going for like short, tight, no long breaks between songs and shit.
BC: That was my other band.
Sweeney: Oh.
BC: This isn’t - this is a much more reckless operation. Like to play a song for you now called Cast a Stone.
Cast a Stone
(Billy begins guitar for For Your Love)
BC: We’d like to dim the lights for this one. There’s no one to dim the lights.
For Your Love
BC: Thank you. Who’s here from St. Louis? Who’s actually lives in St. Louis? Heh heh heh. Where did all the rest of you come from?
Pajo: Mars, Uranus, Venus. Texas.
Sweeney: New Jersey?
Pajo: Ohhhh.
BC: You know Bruce Springsteen’s from New Jersey, Matt?
Sweeney: Really?
BC: Matt’s from New Jersey, he’s very proud. (no audience reaction) No one cares, Matt. Matt loves New Jersey. I mean, really, it’s like.... (cracking up) Some -- some guy said “Good for him.” Heh. I think Matt loves New Jersey more than I love Illinois, but would you say that’s fair?
Sweeney: Absolutely!
BC: Five seconds ago, you didn’t give a fuck about anything and now you care.
Sweeney: I know.
BC: Heh. Alright, this is a song called Yeah.
Yeah!
All Day and All of the Night
Lyric
(BC right before end: Thank you very much, thank you.)
[encore break]
Sweeney: So Billy, you say that you’re having trouble letting go? Going nuts. Full release. Billy hasn’t really let loose, he’s still feelin’ a little.... I think what you gotta do....
BC: Huh?
Sweeney: I think what you should do, don’t look at the neck of the guitar as much.
BC: Look more at your cock?
Sweeney: Yeah. I’ve been playing all night like this....
BC: Zwan: X-rated rock and roll. That’s gonna be our new t-shirt: “X-rated rock and roll.” That’s good, right?
Sweeney: No.
BC: Anyway, before we conclude this evening, we’d like to say thank you very much, it’s always a great honor whenever we play that people come. As I’ve noted a few times in the past, you know, when you’ve got tickets to the first show of a long stretch, it always says that you’re the biggest fans, so we thank you very much. “First fan” is short for “fanatic” as you’ve learned on MTV. Heh heh heh heh heh heh. I used to be a star. Heh heh heh heh heh. (cracking up) I know I’m the star in your head tonight, Miller(?). I know it. Anyway, so uh...yeah, that’s - I’ve said everything I needed to say right now, that’s it. Shut up, yes. X-rated rock and roll, that’s what we’re gonna play.
Baby, Let’s Rock!
> A New Poetry
BC: Thanks a lot, thank you.
